Figure 3. Multiple Fan Outlet Test Configuration

Figure 4. Dimensions for Inlet Vane Proportionality

ISHRAE/ANSI/ARI STANDARD 430-2008

5.3.1 Application of Fan Laws to Units with Inlet

Vanes. Units with inlet vanes may be rated one
of three ways:
1) using the fan laws as
described by 5.3.2 for proportional units with
proportional fans and inlet vanes; 2) using the
fan laws as described in 5.3.3 for proportional
units with non proportional fans and inlet vanes;
or 3) using the fan laws by applying the
appropriate inlet vane derate factors to units
without inlet vanes rated per Sections 5.3.2 or
5.3.3 when the inlet vanes of the test unit are
proportional to the inlet vanes of the rated units.
(Since all requirements for proportionality of
cabinets, fan
impellers, and
housing are
satisfied by provisions in either 5.3.2 or 5.3.3
without inlet vanes, rated units with inlet vanes
derived by inlet vane derate factors must only
meet inlet vane proportionality criteria.)
Inlet vanes are considered to be proportional
when the inlet vanes shall result in net air flow
areas not less than 92.5% of those derived from
exact proportionality (as defined in Section
5.3.2) when located within 0.5 impeller diameter
from the fan inlet. The test unit must be tested
with vanes in the wide open position as specified
by the manufacturer. Vane shaft angle, , (with
respect to fan shaft centerline) and the number
of vane blades for the rated unit must be the
same as for the test unit (see Figure 4). When
evaluating geometrical proportionality of inlet
vanes, the distance between vane and impeller
(defined as dimensions between impeller inlet
plane and the closest point of vanes with the
vanes at wide open position, as set by the
manufacturer) and the distance between cabinet
side and fan inlet shall be considered.
The method of rating one unit with inlet vanes
from the test of another is described in Sections
5.3.3.1 through 5.3.3.7.
5.3.2 Application of Fan Laws to Proportional Units
with Proportional Fans. Test data may be
extended by use of the fan laws to units
containing fans, geometrically proportional fan
cabinets and impellers (see Appendix C). The
fan impeller diameter of the unit to be calculated
shall not be less than 65% of the fan impeller
diameter of the test unit.
Fans are considered to be proportional when:
a.

Impeller width, housing development radii,

and housing width are proportional within
1.5%.

b.

Fan housing outlet area is proportional

within 3%.

Fan cabinets are considered to be proportional

when:
a. The clearance between the unit casing and
the nearest fan housing are proportional or
greater.
b. The clearance between adjacent fan
housings, as measured parallel to the fan
shaft, are proportional or greater.
c. The fan cabinet unit casing inlet and the fan
cabinet outlet air flow cross sectional areas
are not less than 92.5% of the respective
geometrically proportionate values.
d. Arrangement and location of internal
bearings and their supports, inlet vanes,
motors and drives, shall result in net air flow
areas not less than 92.5% of those derived
from exact proportionality when located
within 0.5 impeller diameter of the fan inlet.
The basis for proportionality in every case shall
be the respective impeller diameters; linear
dimensions shall be proportional to the diameter,
and areas shall be proportional to the square of
the diameter.
Single fan units may be rated from the test of a
multiple fan unit provided that the units are
otherwise proportional and that the clearance
between fans on the multiple fan unit is not more
than twice the proportionate clearance between
the cabinet and the fan housing on a single fan
unit. In no case, shall the ratings of a multiple
fan unit from tests of a single fan unit be
accepted. Air flow and fan shaft power are
considered to be proportional to the number of
fans.
Draw-through units which have a change in airflow direction between the coil and the fan
(Figure 5) may be rated from tests of units which
do not have this flow direction change (Figure 2)
provided the plenum causing the air direction
change be considered an appurtenance and the
effect of its application added to those of other
appurtenances as provided in 6.1.1 There is no
distinction in rating between a vertical discharge
and a horizontal discharge blow-through unit.
The effects of proportions of bolts, nuts, rivets,
etc., shall be considered to be negligible.

ISHRAE/ANSI/ARI STANDARD 430-2008

Figure 5. Draw-Through Unit With Air Flow Direction Change

5.3.3 Application of Fan Laws to Proportional Units

with Non-Proportional Fans. The requirements
for proportional fan impellers and scrolls set
forth in 5.3.2 are waived when all fans which are
not geometrically proportional are rated as fans
alone (as defined in 3.1) on the basis of tests
performed in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 51/AMCA Standard 210. This applies
only to fans of the same blade design.
Backward inclined fan impellers are not
considered to be the same design as airfoil
impellers. All other requirements of 5.3.2 shall
be met.
The method of rating one unit from the test of
another is as follows:
5.3.3.1Using the rating performance curve of the fan
alone (with or without inlet vanes) or unit
(without inlet vanes), create non-dimensional
performance curves including percentage wideopen cfm, percentage blocked tight static
pressure and percentage wide-open horsepower
(see Figure 6).

5.3.3.2To derive the rating performance curve for the

test unit without coil, add the test unit static
pressure data to the static resistance of the dry
coil as determined in accordance with ARIISHRAE Standard (see Figure 6).
5.3.3.3Superimpose on Figure 6 the unit rating
performance curve (with or without inlet vanes)
as derived under 5.3.3.2 at the same rev/s [rpm],
expressing the values in percentages of wideopen m3/s [cfm], blocked tight static pressure
and wide-open horsepower of the fan alone
(with or without inlet vanes) or unit (without inlet
vanes) (see Figure 6).
5.3.3.4For the unit which is to be rated, but not tested
use the rating performance curve of the fan
alone (with or without inlet vanes) or unit
(without inlet vanes) and plot percentages of
wide open m3/s [cfm], blocked tight static
pressure and wide-open horsepower in the
same way as for the solid line curve in Figure 6
(see Figure 7).

ISHRAE/ANSI/ARI STANDARD 430-2008

5.3.3.5Adjust the curves in Figure 7 by the
performance corrections between pairs of
curves as indicated in Figure 6. The resultant
curves are the calculated performance ratings
for the unit not tested, expressed in percentages
of performance of the fan alone (with or without
inlet vanes) or unit (without inlet vanes) (see
dashed lines in Figure 7).
5.3.3.6To determine the actual rating performance
values for the specific unit, multiply the
percentage values by the wide open cfm,
blocked tight static pressure and wide open
horsepower of the specific unit's fan alone (with
or without inlet vanes) or specific unit (without
inlet vanes) at the same rev/s [rpm] as in Figure
6 performance curves.

7
with coil in place, represent the performance of
the fan section alone without coil. Thus, as
appurtenance such as coils, filters, dampers,
etc., are added to the unit, their effects must be
taken into account in order to establish the
overall performance of the combined unit.
6.1.1.1The manufacturer shall provide the necessary
published data and procedures whereby the
effects of the appurtenances offered may be
taken into account. These effects shall be
stated in terms of pressure drop, in. kPa [H2O]
measured across the appurtenance over the
range of air quantities for which the unit is rated.
6.2

5.3.3.7The same procedure as for 5.3.3.6 applies to

multiple fan units, except that the cfm and
horsepower values for the fan alone (with or
without inlet vanes) are multiplied by the number
of fans before applying to the unit, with the
restrictions shown in the second paragraph of
5.3.2. Single fan units may be rated from the
tests of multiple fan units, but multiple fan units
shall not be rated from tests of single fan units.

Section 7. Minimum Data Requirements for

Published Ratings
7.1

Section 6. Rating Requirements

6.1

Air-Handling Ratings. Published air-handling

ratings shall be expressed in terms of the air
quantity, m3/s [scfm]; static pressure, in. kPa

required at the fan shaft, brake horsepower, W
[bhp] based on the procedures outlined in 5.2
and 5.3 of this standard.

6.1.1 Effect of Appurtenances.

The air-handling
ratings referred to in 6.1, while based on tests

and pressure with rpm not exceeding the
published rated rpm by more than 5% and
brake horsepower, W [bhp] not exceeding the
published rated brake horsepower, W [bhp] by
more than 7.5%.
